Tell a little about the person lost...
Chris was 18 when he was diagnosed with non Hodgkins Lymphoma. He was undergoing treatment while finishing high school and graduated a week before we found out his cancer had returned. He loved life, loved to laugh and enjoyed spending time with family and friends. Chris would test a person to see what they were made of, and loved to debate things just to see what people thought. He is greatly missed by all those who knew and loved him.
Chris's nickname was Mopigeon. He had a mohawk that he was very proud of. One day he was at the mall with his friend Lauren making fun of other people's mohawks that he thought were weak. Lauren asked him what was on his head and he said "A Mohawk." She laughed and told him. "At best that's a Mopigeon." It stuck and he was Mopigeon from them on. That's why my memorial tattoo is a pigeon with a Mohawk.

Graduation

Last Friday was a year that Chris graduated from High School. On Saturday we went to IHS's graduation. It was hard to watch all those kids go through the ceremony knowing that last year it was Chris. We watched the young men and women, having an idea of what they had overcome to graduate and we were proud of them. I hope that next year we will have our foundation in place and have a scholarship to award to one of the students. Today Alec graduated. We were so proud of him, watching him walk acro… Continue

Music

Chris was always exposed to music. Cyndi and I have always had music in our home and it's been a very important part of our lives. Like most kids Chris listened to what we listened to when he was young, because he didn't have a lot of choice. Of course as he got older he developed his own tastes in music, and everything mom and dad listened to was old and bad. The songs that I put on the site were songs that Chris liked, or were special to us. The Parting Glass is a old song, that we first heard… Continue

6 months

6 months, half a year. Almost as long as Chris fought that damned disease. Can it be possible that he's been gone this long. I guess it is, but it sure doesn't seem like it has been that long, yet he feels like it's been forever since I've heard him yell "Daddy" when I walked into his hospital room. Forever since I saw his smile when I knew he was up to something. Forever since we argued about why the Oakland Raiders are the evil of professional sports, why the Detroit Red Wings were to blame fo… Continue

New Page

We had a memorial site set up on My Space but people got into it and started using it in ways that Chris would not have approved of or appreciated. So I have set this site up for people to share memories of Chris and talk about what he meant to them. It's hard to believe that he has been gone from us for almost 6 months. I don't know how we have made it this far. It has been the hardest journey any of us have gone on and one that none of us wanted to take. We hold tight to each other and to our… Continue

Actually- We have not even hit that numb area yet with the exception of a hour here or there- - We seem to be wavering between disbelief & the raw pain. So sorry about Chris - I always taught our kids life is what you make of it- So don't say life is not fair- But- WOW- Now- I have to say it. " Life is NOT fair" Our boys deserved to grow up, fall in Love & know the joy of parenthood - as we did.

That wasn't quite how the Mopigeon name started up, Close though. Me (Lauren) and also Kiah made it up. He was making fun of all the "poser bitches" as he called them, with their sissy hawks, and me and Kiah both shot him and odd look, and at the same time called him Mopigeon, it was hilarious. It was just one of those moments you would have had to be there for.

Dear Rodney, Thank you for caring enough to write to me. Our Dads are so special and they are greatly missed when they are no longer with us. I am so sorry for your loss of your son, Chris, which must be so much harder to come to terms with form you and Chris's brothers. I pray God will help you and that you will keep many wonderful memories of him in your heart. In a sense a part of him is always with you and always will be. Even in the midst of sorrow may you find hope and peace. Blessings! Rob
